Interesting, is this true for males of all species or is it limited to human males?

You realize that Walter White is an anti-hero; a tragic figure not to be emulated... right? But to your second point, yes, HPPD[1] is a serious condition. [1] http://en.wikipedia.o…

I would argue that his ideas, outside his domain, are not communicated well because they are not well-formed. Criticizing him for being boorish and ill-informed about social issues…

It's dehumanizing to the victims to dismiss allegations of sexual assault because of a convenient theory that aligns with your politics. While it may be your version of Occam's Raz…

Do you include in your estimate those who may currently be JS developers not by choice but due to the vogue of web apps?

I'll refrain from pointing out the strong political biases your sources because I did cite the NYT, but I wish to note their use of tone arguments to highlight waste. $22M a year s…

I'm not in disagreement at all. This is a valuable purpose of the press.

This is an oft-cited phenomenon, but it should be noted that this policy started to be dismantled 4 years ago [1]. [1] http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/16/nyregion/16rubber.html

I find your frequent use of "tumblr-isation" as a negative to be alarmingly anti-intellectual for this site. Do you realize that the terms you pick out, "privilege" and "patriarchy…

Well that line of reasoning is exactly what I was referring to. The reporter doing due diligence and fact gathering is in ill taste, but responding in kind and releasing personal i…

This has a tinge of pettiness to it, don't you think?

I worry about any economic system that is defended almost entirely with a verse that, at best, belongs on a coffee cup.

I think that it does, to some degree, in order to fulfill some of the promises that proponents claim will be delivered in the near future. There are ceaseless calls by BTC advocate…

I don't entirely disagree, but even still people understood both of those things conceptually before they existed. Credit, arguably, predates state-backed currencies and PayPal pro…

I think the argument against your anecdote is that it was the best solution for you--no doubt a technologically literate person who has confidence in their mental model of what bit…

Suggesting that future developments will make these jobs obsolete is a weak argument against improving their conditions today. Also, if improving the quality of life for their huma…

TinCan[1] does that, at least with text. There was a discussion here a few months ago about using AFSK to control external hardware that spurred me to hack together a script that a…

While this is true, one only needs to be a vendor who ships products to begin to associate metadata with purchaser's wallet address and start breaking down that privacy. Multiple a…

Thank you, these sorts of timing attacks are very interesting. I was asking for clarification because I am curious about vectors such as these; vulnerabilities in JS runtime or in …

Just to clarify, as I've seen many of your responses to posts on this subject, you're advocating against use of javascript encryption in client-side applications served through the…

I'm not sure that's fair. It is bulb shape and it emits light. The source of the light happens to be the sun. This is kind of like saying that tungsten lamps aren't lightbulbs beca…

This is a great hack, very clever. You mention on the GitHub page that you use a comparator to convert the signal for the ATMega168. I know that the ATmega328 has an embedded compa…

That sort of claim seems to warrant extraordinary proof. Do you happen to have any?
